Five powerful reasons to start swimming

Reading Time: 2.3 min.

We all know that swimming is one of the finest sports and provides the most benefits to our bodies. In a fun way – and with softer wear and tear than other disciplines cause – swimming helps you take care of your body, improve your health and look and feel amazing. Therefore, here are five powerful reasons to start swimming.

1. Tone your muscles

Water is 784 times denser than air, which means swimming is a very effective way to tone muscles. More so than any other form of cardiovascular exercise done on land. Exercising in water provides resistance, which gives a similar effect to weights; however, water immersion creates an even and controlled endurance in the body, perfect for those not comfortable lifting weights.

2. Take care of your heart and your weight

In addition to toning, swimming provides a good cardio workout, which means your heart pump. That is good for heart health, makes you fitter, and burns calories, leading to weight loss.

Swimming for half an hour can burn up to 250 calories, and considering the average chocolate bar is 240 calories, do you need any more reasons to hit the pool?

3, Low impact with outstanding results

Low impact means easy on the joints, so swimming is a fantastic exercise for those who may be older or injured or anyone who needs to take care of their joints.

The low impact can also mean better results because you can swim at higher intensities and more regularly without feeling the wear and tear on your body that you might get from higher impact activity.

4. Delays aging

Research shows that regular swimmers can be biologically 20 years younger than their actual age! Scientists say that even up to age 70, swimming positively affects blood pressure, cardiovascular performance, cholesterol levels, central nervous system health, cognitive functioning, and muscle mass.

5, Show your style and look spectacular

If you are now convinced to include swimming in your routine and want to show off your style, there is nothing better than the latest collaboration from Fendi and Arena. The limited-edition swim kit to celebrate creativity, style, and technology with two leaders in the world of sport and luxury.

The swim cap is made from lycra and features Fendi’s classic FF logo, creating a natural and comfortable swim experience and offering complete protection, performance, and style in the water.

The limited-edition glasses are inspired by ARENA The One model and feature the unmistakable FF logo affixed to specialized polycarbonate mirrored lenses. Thanks to its exclusive gasket design – based on the study of the human face and eye orbit- its one-size-fits-all structure adapts smoothly to your face. The goggles also feature a self-adjusting nose bridge and a split silicone strap, finished with a TPR seal.

To complete the kit, FENDI and ARENA have created a luxury case that provides complete protection for the glasses, matched with brand logos and a carabiner clip on the compartment, for convenient storage and transport.

The limited-edition FENDI x ARENA swim accessories will be on sale from January 2022 in a selection of FENDI boutiques and selected opticians globally distributed by Thélios, the LVMH eyewear expert.
